SERVANTS UNDER THE YOKE

"I am wholly the Lord's; and wholly devoted in the spirit of sacrificial obedience, to the constant, complete, and energetic performance of the Divine will." - Adam Clarke

"Seeking our own interest to the neglect of Jesus Christ is a very great sin, and very common among Christians and ministers. Many prefer their own credit, ease, and safety, before truth, holiness, and duty, the things of their own pleasure and reputation before the things of Christ's kingdom and His honour and… Continue

The wife of false vows. To update you she had been seeing a coffee shop smothee who was after her butt. She in turn was in the mood for "a new business write off" but just on a friend term. Well heres what happens when things get friendly.

So what started as a simple business partner has evolved to biking companion, to full time friend, and now shopping partner. I doubt there is any time these two do not get out of each others site. So wonderfull new Christian love outside a… Continue

To see His glory....

'Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory You have given me because You loved me before the creation of the world' - John 17:24

The course leader concluded his lecture: 'We live to ultimately be able to see the glory of our Saviour.' A student came to him later. 'We don't have a problem with this life', he said. 'It's exciting - exactly what we seek. But I have a problem with life after death, with the objective of seeing the… Continue

THE SIN OF ENVY

"For wolves to devour sheep is no wonder, but for sheep to devour one another is monstrous and astonishing." - Encyclopedia of Sermon Illustrations

James 3:14 declares - "But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth."

Matthew Henry once made this statement - "If we love our neighbor we shall be so far from envying his welfare, or being displeased with it, that we shall share in it and rejoice at it."

A faithful dog

There is a legend of a woman who had a faithful dog. Thisdog was so faithful

that the woman could leave her baby

with it and go out to attend other matters.

She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the dog faithfully

watching over him.

One day something tragic happened. The woman as usual,

left the baby in the 'hands' of this faithful dog and went out shopping.

When she returned, she discovered rather a nasty scene. There was a… Continue

Respectfully before God

'Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. Ezra praised the Lord, the Great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, 'Amen! Amen!' Then they bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground' - Nehemia 8:5-6.

What a novelty it would be in the life of modern people! To have to raise from their comfortable reclining positions, to have to glance away from their… Continue

“We are not Cave Dwellers”

“We are not Cave Dwellers”

In today’s society of Christian believers, we find David’s original army, those in distress, in debt, and discontented still are alive and not so well, still in the discomfort of grumble mode. 1Sa 22:1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.

1Sa 22:2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one… Continue

We represent GOD

We represent GOD, when we walk into a room

Despite of what we’ve done

Or anything we’ve consumed

You see, GOD is always ready to start over

Always ready to re-zoom

Grace and Mercy

For those of us late to bloom

In any and in all directions

Always seeing his face when will look at my reflection

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me

And because God has anointed me

I will preach… Continue

How can you tell if it is God answering your prays or satan testing you?

God is so good. After all that me and my fiance been going through, I finally couldn't take it. A week ago I told him that I wanted to change my life and dedicate my life to the Lord, at first he couldn't take the part where we had to stop fornicating since this was out of the blue. So we decided to be friends. We live with each other and this was becoming really hard, so it was getting to the point where he was going to move back to his mother country and I was going to go back to N.Y. but I… Continue

THIS IS A WARNING! YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU LOVE

"Unkind judgment of others will be judicially returned upon ourselves..." - Jamieson, Fausset, & Brown Commentary

"You shall be judged by the same rule which you apply to others." - Barnes' Notes

Even though Psalm 109:17-19 refers to the wicked man, there is a lesson in this passage of Scripture for all of us. Let's prayerfully study it and see what important warning we can derive from it.

"As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in… Continue

Adam

Adam was walking around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked Adam, "What is wrong with you?" Adam said he didn''t have anyone to talk to. God said he was going to give him a companion and she would be called "woman."

God said, "This person will cook for you and wash your clothes, she will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you, and will always be… Continue

The Cross of Christ" the solution of the problem of the World

The Cross of Christ

One of my greatest burdens is that the Cross of Christ is rarely explained. It is not enough to say that “He died” - for all men die. It is not enough to say that “He died a noble death” - for

martyrs do the same. We must understand that we have not fully proclaimed the death of Christ with saving power until we have cleared away the confusion that surrounds it and

expounded its true meaning to our hearers - He died bearing the transgressions of His… Continue
